When people call me a bit of a petrolhead I can only plead guilty. But of course there are cars and cars. Last summer I visited an Italian car festival at the Dutch racetrack of Zandvoort. Very special about this racetrack is that it is build in the sand dunes that seperate the sea and beach from the mainland. It was a wonderful day with lots of sun, cars and there for......pictures!
Of course no Italian car festival without Ferrari!
Ferrari old style
Ferrari Enzo; most certainly impressive but to call it beautiful?
High performance engines like the Enzo need a lot of air
The engine that needs the tons of air
The Enzo's taillights that fortunately also made it to some of the other models
I was very surprised to see a lot of cars in other colors then expected (read Rosso Corsa)
The rims looked amazing on a Ferrari this color
So 70's! Ferrari 412 and one of my favorites because it has a understatement not common to Ferrari and is a true GT
Big fan of Maserati and although I prefer the coupe is this GranCabrio a beauty!
Mean...beautiful....both?
Impressive is also that is can comfortably hold 4 people!
Three Maserati's from three different times
Dated? Perhaps, but nothing less impressive
Old cars have delightfully old engines!
The older the better?
DeTomaso Pantera.....no words needed!
Even the parking lot was a lot of fun!
Lamborghini Jarama; a bull of a car you don't see often
Loved the color of this Maserati 3200 GT
Also Alfa Romeo was there with something new...
And something a little older......this one was designed by Zagato!
Italian passion doesn't always mean big cars; a Fiat 500 Abarth
The rims of the modern version of the Fiat 500 Abarth....
A beautiful day
